The gabled, banked, dairy barn stands south west of the house. The barn is clad with vertical boards and rests on a foundation that is partially stone and concrete block. The barn is capped with a green, standing-seam metal roof. Where once was two large, sliding doors on the north façade one has now been boarded over and replaced with a fiberglass, standard swing style man door. An earthen ramp leads to the upper level of the north façade. A milk house clad in horizontal wood boards attaches to the east end of the north façade. The milk house displays two casement windows on its east façade with a now boarded up entryway. On the north facing façade of the milk house there are three casement windows. Vinyl sliding windows are seen on the north, east, and south facades of the barn. Glass block windows appear in the basement on two sides of the building. |
